Try this to see if it makes any difference (you seem to be having somewhat different problems, thus I am not sure...) c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xwin -from 192.168.1.4 -query zephyr.mydomain.com The other thing I wonder about is fonts. I am ignorant on the subject, but is there a chance that not all the fonts needed are being loaded (on either end?)
